see bro...you dont need a long range bootheshitoutofyashouldermeatwrecking magnum....you doing just fine n dandy with the smokepole youve got,50 quid to a knob of goat shit if you did change over,most of your animals would still be shot at sub 300 yards and you would live to regret the change.
enjoy the venison....make sure you cook it right for that fine young lady too.
Hahaha she already got her eye on itQuote:

its like babies bro...you get to hand them back....
Im a bush hobbit at heart ,used a poohseventy for 20 something years for everything,tried the x39mm BHSR thing...lovely to carry,killed ok but the day was coming a 300 yard deer would have to be left.its gone to a good home.
got a .308 thats longer and heavier than the poohseventy as my bush rifle now....oh and sometimes the humble 223 goes for a walk...they all kill deer just as good when I do my bit. 350 yards is a long shot for me,in the last few years Ive taken 3 deer out at around that range.....wouldnt want to stretch barrel any further even if I could....up close n personal is just so much more my thing.
Well done that's an awesome effort from both of you.

Missus and I went out last weekend we had an awesome time in the hills together. We powered into the hut after work under nightfall getting to the hut at midnightw, we met a Canadian named Tyler who had just spent 50 days in the ruahines travelling almost the whole length of it! He is a very interesting character.
We had some heinous winds on the saturday only spying one deer moving up into the bush way too far away for a shot. Sunday morning we were up at sparrows glassing some promising faces after an hour I picked up a nice spiker. Lined him up at 491 yards and flat out missed the shot (unknowingly at the time) We set off on the "recovery" haha. On the way up the face I gave it a cheeky glass waiting for the missus to catch up. At my disbelief I spied four deer feeding out in the very head of this catchment a big old hind with her fawn and yearling with a young yearling spiker trailing abit back. I found a nice spot to setup for a shot, im sitting there getting comfortable and the missus goes "let me shoot one" I surrendered the rifle to her. Ranged the spiker at 415 yards. We went through her shooting process refreshing her memory, the 260 barked the spiker stood there for a second then dropped and rolled down the scree face. Super proud of her. She wouldnt let me live down missing my deer haha. Another mean mission in the ranges

Nice! Love the lab too. Always wanted one, but found them a bit soft on deer compared to wirehairs.
Awesome stuff holy hell that's a long shot well done.
She might leave you at home next time.

Hey fellas just uploading some more pics of a couple deer my partner and I shot. The hind my missus shot she pole axed it at 575 yards shes a cracker shot man.
